Some Kogis have decided to share part of their wisdom with us. So, they
occasionally come down from their sacred villages high in the Sierra Nevada
mountains to offer ceremonies to help us understand the balance of nature and
the need to honor, respect and protect our natural world.The ceremony is led by a Kogi Mamo (Shaman), and consist in a cleansing of our energy, body, mind & soul as well as a “pagamento” (payment to the land) in which we transfer our intangible thoughts into shells as a payment to receive the blessing of the great mother.
The Mamo shares with us that these acts and mentality of taking without paying
back into the earth creates unbalance so We will reach to tune in to the harmony of
nature and offer our gratitude for all much that Mother Earth give us.
